Corrections: June 10, 2015

June 10, 2015

NATIONAL

An article on Tuesday about Senator John McCain’s efforts to reshape the Pentagon’s agenda erroneously attributed a distinction to a possible veto of the Defense Department policy bill by President Obama. The bill has been vetoed four times (in 1978, 1988, 1995 and 2007); a veto by Mr. Obama would not be the first time in five decades that a president has rejected the defense policy bill.

Because of an editing error, the Boston Journal article on Monday about the resignation of Amy Ryan, the president of the Boston Public Library, misstated the year the mayor, Martin J. Walsh, took office. It was January 2014, not this January. The article also misstated the sequence of events on Wednesday when Ms. Ryan announced her resignation. She told reporters that she had no plans to resign after — not before — the mayor’s chief of staff, Dan Koh, had made critical comments.

NEW YORK

Because of an editing error, a correction in this space on Saturday for an article about an order for the Dalton School in Manhattan to rehire a drama teacher misstated the teacher’s surname on first reference. As the correction later noted, he is David Brune, not Drune.

BUSINESS DAY

A headline on Tuesday about a decision by the California Public Employees’ Retirement System to sever ties with many external investment managers to save on fees misstated the breadth of the retirement system’s action. It applies to a variety of investment management funds, not just to hedge funds.

•

An article on Tuesday about the avoidance of a proxy fight at the retailer American Apparel misstated, in some copies, the timing of one concession the company made to a shareholder who, in return, agreed to withdraw the nominations of two new directors. American Apparel agreed to name a new independent director before its 2016 shareholders meeting, not before the meeting next month.

SPORTS

An article in some editions on Monday about the Cleveland Cavaliers’ 95-93 overtime victory over the Golden State Warriors in Game 2 of the N.B.A. Finals misstated the score after three quarters. Cleveland led by 62-59, not 62-49.

THE ARTS

Because of an editing error, a picture caption on Monday with a dance review of the choreographic installation “Settlement House,” at the Henry Street Settlement playhouse and the Abrons Arts Center in Manhattan, reversed the identities of two of the three dancers shown. Jarrod Beck was at the left and Davide Savorani at the right. (Ayesha Fuentes, center, was correctly identified.)

•

An article on Saturday about questions raised about the book “On the Run: Fugitive Life in an American City,” by Alice Goffman, misstated the background of the Northwestern University law professor Steven Lubet, who has asked if Ms. Goffman not only described street crime but also admitted to having committed a felony. He is a former legal services lawyer and a juvenile and criminal defense lawyer, not a former public defender.

WEEKEND

A film review on Friday about “United Passions,” a dramatized history of soccer’s governing body, FIFA, misstated the decades during which the World Cup tournament grew under João Havelange’s FIFA presidency. He expanded its reach in the 1970s and ’80s, not the ’50s and ’60s.

OBITUARIES

An obituary on Tuesday about the chef Roger Vergé misstated the date of his birth in 1930. It was April 7, not April 30.
